The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance

Everyone, this is perhaps a song that needs no introduction =] So, welcome to the black parade

Egad, it’s February already and I haven’t even updated once since the wee weeks of January. So much for my determination! Haha!

Lots have changed since the last time I blogged. My last semester has officially come to a close and exams are just one week away. So much frantic revision going on and incessant cursing aimed at my bloody habit of losing my lecture notes =X

Well, I’ve sorta unofficially moved into my new house. It’s been a hectic week for me as I have been packing stuff (junk included) from my old house and dumping them into my room in the new house. I really have no motivation at the moment to decorate my room or whatsoever. My lovely room resembles more like a storeroom than my bedroom -.-

The good news is that, it’s only my brother and me living here, me mom and dad haven’t really prepared to move yet and only plan to do so in the next couple of weeks. Why? They have more junk than me to move (haha) and they didn’t want to live in a house that is still in the midst of completion. OH! I didn’t tell you? Yeah, I moved into an unfinished house. But then again, it’s damn fun when you wake up to new things at the house. I woke up yesterday morning with 5 plasma televisions installed into the house and haha, and new curtains and SCV boxes today. I’m still waiting for the bloody telephone line and internet to be ready! WAIT! The landscape too! The garden looks more like a dirt mound to me -.-

The house is three storeys. The living, dining room, kitchen and guest rooms are on level one. The entertainment room, my brother’s room and my parent’s room are on level two and my room and a recreation area is on level three. I have to admit that it’s kind of spacious but I’m still trying to live with extra space. I don’t really like living in big houses. Must have been a phobia when I was a young kid. I once got lost in my own house when I was three. The house was a creepy old mansion off Holland Road. My mom had been chasing me to do my homework and just to avoid her, I ran amok and yeah, I got lost and it took three hours for my mom to find a sobbing tot hiding INSIDE the drained grand fountain -.-

Dixon, Joanne, Ning Zhen and Jocelyn came over to see my house yesterday and guess what? all of them with the exception of Jocelyn had to just stay over at my house. Haha! They were very nice la, thanks for the ruffles, cup noodles and ben ‘n’ jerry’s, knowing the barren condition of my refrigerator.

We played Mario Party on the GameCube all the night long and crap till the wee hours of morn. It’s really nice to spend time with the people you love. Slumber Party! OK -.- That’s so primary school. Nevertheless, thanks for coming! NO! I’m not accepting anymore invitations until the house is 100% completed and furbished.

Oh yeah, talking about the new house. I’m still not really comfy with it yet. It doesn’t have the homely feel and the house feels so soulless. You can’t blame the house. I guess, you just have to wait for its occupants to rough it down a little before you can feel that tinge of home! For now, I’m calling my room a serviced apartment, with the exception of a kitchen. Hmm, maybe I’ll get a microwave oven into my room one day.

There was a celebration party or how should I say it a “pat-on-the-back, well done, good job” party and the National University Guild House yesterday. The Management Committee of the BA Society was invited along with the Lecturer Advisors for a karaoke session. Thanks Mr. Paul Chang! Haha. It’s sort of an annual tradition. And, how we enjoyed ourselves there, we sang! Lol! Yeap, KTV to the max! Everyone was having a good time and we seriously ordered a hell load of food. I, being the glutton couldn’t resist the temptation and just gobbled whatever I could get my grubby hands on! So much for my abstinence against junk food for a month!

Well, we sand our heads of from seven to eleven and we parted our ways. Dixon, Joanne and Ning Zhen, Jocelyn, Sabrina, Jason and I headed off to Hagen Dazs at Holland V for supper after we dropped Jenny along the way. I think we were bloody noisy. I had to admit that Ning Zhen and I contributed majorly to the polluting noise level. We were squabbling like a married old couple. But hey, it was fun and I don’t think we irritated anyone, but I think we did amuse a few people -.-

I’ve been training non-stop for my napfa and my personal well-being lately. I’ve been running along Dunearn Road every day to train my speed and stamina for my bloody 2.4 km run in which I missed by 20 seconds for a silver. It was really arduous the first few days with me cursing and muttering whatnots under my breath but after almost two weeks, I’ve conditioned to it and actually began to like jogging/running. Haha, you can literally catch me running like a crazy goose at around 2 to 4 pm everyday.

It’s 7:30pm. I’m pooped. My parents, who APPARENTLY forgot about me, left the house to shop around for stuff. They’ll be back anytime soon and oh, today is their 19th Wedding Anniversary and we’re going to have omg, family dinner for once. Yeah, in my family, it’s rare for the four of us to actually sit down to talk, yet alone have dinner or watch TV together. Although, it can be largely compensated with frequent (ok, not lately) family dinners and outings. I’m gonna do something special for them tonight. Haha!

As for my parents, if they do ever read this entry, I wish you guys a happy wedding anniversary today and definitely many more to come! Your WONDERFUL son will always be by your side (as long as you still continue to give me my weekly allowances, lol) no matter what =]

Oh, to Monica & Matt, study hard for your exams ya! Haha! Your last paper marks the start of my first paper. Such a bummer! Moni! Have fun in Florida and please don't forget to bring lots of goodies yea!

To Mister Fye =] If you do ever happen to read this, TAKE loads of good care in camp! Kinda glad yo're enjoying urself there. Heh heh. I'll kachiau you again when my exams are over.

and lastly, LINA! Haha, pai seh the plane not ready! Until today wor! Study hard for exams and yea I owe you one for that NAPFA incident. Hee hee!

Have a great February everyone!
Toodles!
